Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The LMF1 (lipase maturation factor 1) gene encodes a protein involved in lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase maturation. Homozygous mutations in LMF1 leading to severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) are rare in the literature. A few additional rare LMF1 variants have been described with poor functional studies. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of LMF1 variants in a cohort of...
